SCARLET DARLIN’S Tea Minutes January 13, 2012

Welcome at 2pm, the member signup and dues collection were available at a separate table and time to visit was provided. Everyone was reminded that the current picture binder is available and was passed around for viewing. The previous seasons binders are available and are kept in the Scarlet Darlins’ cabinets.  Pictures were taken of the decor and members, time was provided to enjoy the refreshments while visiting.

A short meeting was held.

OLD BUSINESS:

First item:

Volunteering!! List was passed.

Reminder that we are collecting dues this season to establish a member roster and replenish funds to reimburse for tea preparations and possible other needs.

Reminder about January outing to the Southern Transportation Museum in Tucson on Wednesday January 18^th that is posted, the signup sheet was passed around and questions answered. No one has responded to hosting a movie and lunch for January, Jean Aili will inform me of a date and time for the movie Joyful Noise, I will then email the members so those wishing to go can make their own arrangements to meet at the movie. 

We had 4 guests attending this month: Barbara Meehan, Joyce Fuller Kleikamp, Hazel Fuller, and Sandra Yanez. Three of our guests became members, Barbara, Joyce & Hazel --- Welcome!!!

Joyce Fuller Kleikamp and Hazel Fuller celebrated their January Birthdays.  

Lady Sunshine update, Linnea Bolm returned to Scarlet Darlins’, Loli Norman is back in the Park and doing well as is Rose Marsh, Lee will keep track of any cards sent as will I.

Reminder that the February Tea will also be a Red Hat items exchange, with discussion, it was decided that members would bring any ‘Red Hat’ items that they either wanted to exchange, sell give. The member will have to identify which by tagging each item with their name and intention.

 

NEW BUSINESS:

Carole McGhie has agreed to host the annual PJ Party in February, she will research the use of the Activity Center and plan a date, she has some fun ideas and a movie may be a part of the function. The time will be either 4 or 5 to maybe 8 or so. We can plan to bring finger food etc.

A lengthy discussion was held about the appropriate amount available for reimbursement for Tea Preparation, it was decided that the amount would be reduced to $25 with the stipulation that additional amounts would be available if discussed with me before hand. If the greater amount remained it would become necessary to raise dues to accommodate.

The meeting was turned over to the Hostesses for January – Carol Thornton, Nancy Dimick, Ona Voelpel. Door Prizes were drawn.

The meeting will be turned over to the Hostesses.
